Black Dragon Spirit, Innate Full Soul Power

After returning to his shabby little hut, Li Daotian lay down on a pile of straw and decided to get a good night's rest.

He would welcome his surprise first thing tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile, Village Chief Jack had relayed the news to every eligible child.

Not long after, Tang San returned home carrying a bundle of firewood.

Tang Hao was sitting in a chair drinking, narrowing his eyes as he glanced at the small figure entering the kitchen. He said flatly, "Little San, Spirit Hall will come to Holy Spirit Village tomorrow morning to test Soul Power. Get up early and don't miss it!"

Tang San's eyes lit up at those words. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and he said happily, "Okay, Dad."

After saying that, he continued with his work.

Early the next morning, just as dawn broke, Li Daotian arrived at the village square.

Village Chief Old Jack was already waiting. His body was slightly stooped, and when he saw Li Daotian arrive first, a smile could not help appearing on his face.

"Daotian, Grandpa knows you're a diligent child."

Jack looked at Li Daotian, though there was still some helplessness in his eyes. "But Daotian, while awakening a Martial Soul is certainly a good thing, don't lose heart if you can't awaken one."

"Life is a long road, and there are many paths to take."

Jack had known since Li Daotian was little that he was a hardworking child, but he did not think Li Daotian possessed much talent as a Soul Master.

Perhaps the results of this test would hurt his young heart.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Jack. I understand."

Li Daotian understood what Old Jack meant. The old man simply did not believe he could awaken any good Martial Soul.

A day ago, that might indeed have been true. But now? That was hard to say.

As they spoke, Tang San walked over wearing a clean set of clothes.

"Grandpa Jack, Daotian, good morning."

Tang San greeted them.

When Jack saw Tang San, a few traces of a kindly smile spread across his face. He reached out and patted Tang San's head. "Tang San, you must seize this opportunity. Bring honor to our Holy Spirit Village!"

In the old man's eyes, Tang San had the greatest chance of awakening a powerful Martial Soul.

Because he felt that Tang San's father was somewhat unusual.

Though on the surface, Tang Hao was merely a drunken blacksmith.

"I'll definitely do my best, Grandpa Village Chief."

Tang San nodded lightly, a confident smile appearing on his face.

Old Jack beamed.

Li Daotian watched this scene with an unchanged expression, but he sneered coldly inside. Tang San, Tang San, do you still think you're the protagonist?

This time, let's see what use your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul can possibly have.

Soon after, several more children from Holy Spirit Village arrived.

All the eligible children had come this time.

They waited together in the square.

The sun rose in the east, bathing the square in bright light.

A young figure entered Holy Spirit Village, dressed in an exquisite robe from Spirit Hall, with the Spirit Hall emblem on his chest.

He hurried toward the square.

The moment Old Jack saw him, he immediately went forward to greet him.

"Honored Soul Master, you've finally arrived!"

Old Jack bowed in greeting.

The young Soul Master nodded slightly. "Village Chief Jack, you're too polite. Let's begin."

After saying that, his cold gaze turned toward the children standing nearby.

"Children, this is Su Yuntao, a Battle Soul Grandmaster and deacon of Spirit Hall."

Jack hurriedly introduced him to the children.

The children understood and quickly bowed.

"Greetings, Grandmaster Su Yuntao."

Su Yuntao laughed heartily. "Children, let's begin."

As he spoke, he took a crystal ball from the bundle he carried.

"Who wants to go first?"

Su Yuntao asked the children.

Li Daotian looked at the ball and stepped forward.

"Honored Battle Soul Grandmaster, I'll go first."

Li Daotian was quite bold.

"Good, child. Put both hands on this ball."

Su Yuntao gestured.

Following the instruction, Li Daotian placed both hands on the crystal ball.

A moment later, the crystal ball flared with light, releasing an intensely brilliant glow.

"This... Innate Full Soul Power!"

Su Yuntao was somewhat shocked by what he saw.

He had not expected such a tiny place as Holy Spirit Village to have a child with Innate Full Soul Power.

At the same time, fluctuations of Soul Power began appearing around Li Daotian.

A terrifying Black Dragon appeared, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It looked imposing and majestic, radiating immense pressure the instant it emerged.

"This... a Black Dragon Spirit!"

"My heavens, it's actually a dragon Martial Soul!"

"Child, your talent is extraordinarily high!"

Su Yuntao's expression was one of utter shock.

Innate Full Soul Power together with a Black Dragon Spirit—this child's future was boundless!

Li Daotian was also somewhat delighted. Though he had expected that he might possess Innate Full Soul Power, he had not expected his Martial Soul to be a Black Dragon.

Dragon Martial Souls held an extraordinary status on Douluo Continent.

However, he should have another Martial Soul as well. It seemed that it had not manifested.

Seeing this, Old Jack, who stood behind him, rubbed his eyes, unable to quite believe it.

"Daotian's talent is this high!?"

Old Jack's voice trembled.

After seeing Li Daotian's Martial Soul, Tang San's eyes filled with envy.

There was even a hint of jealousy.

The other children wore the same expressions.

"Good child, what's your name?"

Su Yuntao asked.

"Li Daotian."

Li Daotian answered.

"Good. Your test was an enormous success. Would you be willing to join Spirit Hall? You would receive generous cultivation resources from Spirit Hall."

Su Yuntao decided to recruit Li Daotian into Spirit Hall at once.

He did not want to miss such an outstanding prospect.

"Um... let me think about it."

Li Daotian did not agree in haste.

He was still rather young. If he rushed into joining Spirit Hall, who knew what problems might arise?

"That's fine, child. Stand to the side for now. Once the testing is over, we'll have a proper talk."

Su Yuntao nodded slightly.

Li Daotian removed his hands from the crystal ball, and his Martial Soul dissipated with them. He turned and walked to the side.

At once, he sensed Tang San examining him with a pair of violet eyes.

"Tang San, why are your eyes purple?"

Li Daotian found it rather strange.

Tang San's expression changed immediately. He quickly withdrew his Purple Demon Eye. It was his hidden secret technique, and he did not want to expose it.

"You saw wrong, Daotian."

Tang San hurriedly covered it up.

Li Daotian did not press further, but inwardly, he was overjoyed.

Tang San, trying to spy on me with your Purple Demon Eye won't be so easy.

Let's see what kind of Martial Soul you awaken later.

A faint smile lingered on Li Daotian's face.

Next, several more children stepped forward for testing.

The results were all unimpressive. Two children failed to awaken a Martial Soul entirely, while another had level three Soul Power and awakened a book. All of them were eliminated.

After that, only Tang San remained.

He took a deep breath and walked before the crystal ball. After hesitating slightly, he finally placed his hands on it.

The crystal ball began to emit light, but it was not particularly intense.

Compared to Li Daotian's earlier result, it was obviously much weaker!
